<h1>Adobe Portable Document Format</h1>
<p>
Codename: <strong>pdf</strong>

<p>
The Marvin beans and applications are able to export in PDF format (as a vector
graphical <a HREF="images-doc.html">image</a>). 
This function does not work in
the applets (except signed applets). PDF export requires Java 1.4 (or higher version).

<p>
The PdfExport module recognizes
the <a HREF="images-doc.html#options">common image export options</a>.

<!--
<h2>Known Issues</h2>
<ul>
<li>Sometimes, multi color bonds are curved.</li>
<li>In &quot;Ball and Stick&quot; and in &quot;Spacefill&quot; rendering mode, Marvin applets
generates a zero length file when you save the molecule in PDF format.
From Marvin Beans API or applications, copying and saving in PDF format works 
fine.</li>
<li>Marvin copy restricts &quot;Ball and Stick&quot; and &quot;Spacfill&quot;
rendering mode at PDF copy. In this case, the copied image will be drawn
in &quot;Wireframe&quot; or &quot;Sticks&quot; rendering mode.</li>
</ul>
